This is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and we are busy with family and friends for the next five days. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Canadian friends Happy Thanksgiving and hope you all have much to be thankful for!

Here is one small thing that I have to be thankful for:

My English friends, M & N spent some time at Wimbledon recently and sent me this postcard. Now to them, it is just a postcard! But to me, living here in rural Nova Scotia who is likely never to get to Wimbledon, it is a souvenir from the hallowed grounds of the most famous tennis center in the world, with a picture of Roger Federer, holding his Wimbledon Championship trophy and wearing his Wimbledon garb on it! You should have seem me at the Post Office when I received this in our mailbox!

This now has a position of honour on my desktop, and I mean my own desk in my den, not my computer desktop:

So many thanks to M & N and to all my family and friends, old and new, here and in cyberspace, for being such good friends! I am indeed very lucky and very thankful to have you all in my life.
